Maybe we should be sending in these results live, like they do it on tv

Do you have any idea how long it takes to do these posts?

If we did it live, we'd be here all weekend...

Anyone reckon they know who the winner will be yet?

I'm going to predict not Dermot Kennedy...

Necro · 22-05-2020 7:51pm

The real burning question is...

Can Travis get to over 10 points before the end of the game :pac:

Travis' first album is rough and raw and brilliant. This song almost took me back to those days

Have to say I was delighted to see She's Kerosene get top marks from EN. 'Tis a cracking song.

They're all cracking songs, but She's Kerosene doubly so.

lassykk · 22-05-2020 7:54pm

Brilliant game and enjoying the reveal

My top two votes currently one and two

I actually changed my mind and prefer altar now so I'm hoping my votes get reversed

Imagine it came down to a 1 point difference in favour of Dermo at the very end after you've gone and said this...

machineheart is the best song here, but The Interrupters were the most fun, I enjoyed it the most, and that's what i thought the spirit of this game was

Ha, I still like both songs but altar is a song I've added to my playlist. Power over me is just OK for the odd listen

Rothko · 22-05-2020 7:59pm

How many people had heard of Machineheart before this?

I wasn't familiar with them myself but liked that song and not that surprised to see it doing well.

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 22-05-2020 8:00pm

Yeah, ShaneU really hated Paul Kelly apparently. You're crazy Shane, it's an epic song!

Wow, not much crossover between Sawduck and myself!

Sawduck · 22-05-2020 8:00pm

Just like the real eurovision most of my favorites are doing poorly, except for She's Kerosene, so i'm rooting for that to somehow win

Necro · 22-05-2020 8:00pm

Lightning Strikes was the find of the 20 songs for me tbh, I already knew Dermie Kennedy (and love it) but that pushed it very hard for top spot

Never heard of them or most of the bands on the list which was great.

The bands I did know like Travis, aha, etc were way down my list!

Very few I imagine. They're not mainstream at all, and don't think they're very well known outside of California.

They ended up responding to one of my music related tweets a few years ago, which is the only reason I discovered them.

Out of nowhere, after two rounds of top marks Áine Cahill bounds up the table from second to last into mid-table, showing just how quickly things can change in only a couple of votes, while machineheart extends their lead at the top, and The Interrupters are now tied for second place with Dermot Kennedy…

She's Kerosene was bottom of my list initially.

I just find ska really difficult to listen to in general.

Gave it another go there and it's actually not as bad as my initial impression; still wouldn't make my top ten but would probably move it off the bottom (fúck you, Amanda Palmer!)
